So what i am trying do is that i am trying to shoot a raycast that destroys another object. the problem is that the raycast is messed up and i dont know what to do now. pls help

public class CUT : MonoBehaviour
{


    public TREE tree;
    public Camera cam;
    public GameObject PLAYER;
    public bool EVENT;
    public GameObject treeObject;
    public LayerMask p_Layer;
 

    void Update()
    {
        PLAYER = this.gameObject;


        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            Vector3 vector3 = cam.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
            Vector3 mousePos = vector3;
            Vector2 mousePos2D = new Vector2(mousePos.x, mousePos.y);

            RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(PLAYER.transform.position, mousePos2D, 50, p_Layer);
            treeObject = hit.collider.transform.gameObject;

            tree = treeObject.gameObject.GetComponent<TREE>();
            EVENT = tree.CutEvent;

            



            if (hit.collider != null)
            {
                Debug.Log("YUP");
                EVENT = true;
            }
        
            if (hit.collider == null)
            {
                Debug.Log("NOPE");

            }


        }
    }
}

this is the code and

public class TREE : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool iscuttable;
    public string TreeType;
    public int CutType;
    public GameObject player;
    public LayerMask P_layer;
    [SerializeField] private float Circle;
    public bool CutEvent = false;
    GameObject ThisTree;

    public void Update()
    {
        
        iscuttable = Physics2D.OverlapCircle(player.transform.position, Circle, P_layer);
        if (CutEvent & iscuttable)
        {
            StartCoroutine(Enumerator());
        }
    }

    IEnumerator Enumerator ()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
        ThisTree = this.gameObject;
        Destroy(ThisTree);
    }


}

this the code i am trying to access

It seems that you are trying to set TREE.CutEvent to true. When you do this:

EVENT = tree.CutEvent;

You are copying the value of CutEvent to the variable EVENT. And then when you do:

EVENT = true;

You are just setting the copied variable to true - this won’t reflect on the original tree.CutEvent.

This is because primitive types (bool, int, float, string) are value-types.

You probably just want to do tree.CutEvent = true
